THE STARTLED STARLINGS Vol. 71, No. 32. Increased agitation for an "open" Sunday in North York, coinciding with similar clamor in Toronto and York township, was interpreted by informed observers as the beginning of a revolutionary change in local Sabâ€" bath customs. In North York the executive‘â€"'â€"â€"' committee of the township counâ€"| sports, Mr. Hall said. However, & cil sent on a recommendation inâ€" yote on opening of theatres on favor of a referendum on px'o-!sunduy could only be called by fessional sports on Sunday in permission of the provincial govâ€" that township.

The Goldenberg brief had stressed the advantages both to players and spectators of profesâ€" sional sports on Sunday. Existâ€" ing township laws do not permit "playing for pay" on Sundays. If North York council accepts the executive committee‘s recomâ€" mendation the Sunday sports question will be voted on by North York electors in the muniâ€" cipal elections in December. The township council had auâ€" thority to act on a petition for a vote on the question of Sunday "People who want to look at a show should have the same right to do so as those who prefer to watch sports," Councillor Paisley said. A â€" similarly _ doubleâ€"barrelled proposal offered in York townâ€" ship council evoked an opinion from â€" Howard Hall, township solicitor, that the two issues would have to be copsidered sepâ€" arately.

B Shoiguns Used To Ease Weston Bird Nuisance A wide diversity of views held by council members on the subâ€": ject of Sunday sports and movies was evident during the discussion of the issues at the last meeting of York township council, Deputy Reeve William Graham argued for a referendum conâ€" fined strictly to the question as to whether or not York townâ€" ship residents were in favor of Sunday sports. Mr. Graham inâ€" sisted that the many sporting events and places presently opâ€" erating in the townshipâ€"swimâ€" ming pools, ice rinks and bowling alleys were cited by the deputy reeve as being open on Sundays â€"had been doing so in violation of the law for many years. He wanted to have the situation clarified one way or another, Mr. Graham said. Claiming that council members were presuming to anticipate the feeling of township citizens on both issues, Reeve Chris Tonks and Deputy Reeve Wilf Royle suggested that council take action until public interest in t'fii "open Sunday" question revealed. itself. Reeve Tonks said that council should wait until a petiâ€" tion of citizens on the issue was presented to the council, sports, Mr. Hall said. However, & vote on opening of theatres on Sunday could only be called by permission of the provincial govâ€" ernment. Councillor Philip White recomâ€" mended that both Sunday sports and Sunday movies be voted on in ‘Decembér. Like Councillor Paisley of North York, Mr. White stressed "equality of treatment" in support of his view. i
